Shutdown problem - Hangs at very last stage (send BIOS command)

Hallo,
i have an older Laptop (HP Compaq NX6310, 10 years old) that runs quite well under Arch. It can reboot but it cannot shutdown. It hangs at the very last stage where it should tell the BIOS to poweroff. The last output on tty0 is ('watchdog could not be killed' that i have on every Arch install though and then something like 'restart: rebooting system' where the screen freezes and i have to force poweroff by hardware button. It has dual boot with Windows and there it properly shuts down.

I can remember back in the days there were some ACPI/APM levels that could be forced or overridden but i'm not sure if that could lead to something. I don't have a bootlog atm as the device is not in range.

Any ideas how to debug that or what to try out to fix that problem? The only thing i've noted/found yet is a kernel parameter 'ACPI=force' that i will try out.
